Message from the Group's Chairman and CEO

Diego Della Valle, Chairman and CEO of the Group, commented as follows:

"As anticipated in January and as evident from the fourth quarter figures, we have registered a good improvement in the sales trend with the arrival in the stores of the Fall/Winter collections, that reflect the brands' DNA and the Italian style, and well combine quality, craftsmanship and innovation. These features are more and more appreciated by all clients, including the new generations.

Considering the epochal change taking place in the world of distribution, we developed a new store format, which can meet the new requirements; also e-commerce, on which we are strongly committed to capture the great growth potential, will give an important contribution.

We remain highly focused on the organic growth and we are confident to achieve strong results, also thanks to the effectiveness of the new forms of communication that we have implemented and to the contribution of digital.

In terms of profitability, we will continue to benefit from the cost efficiency measures started last year and, even thanks to the strengthening of the management team, we are confident that we will reach an improvement of results starting from this year."

Consolidated sales were 1,004.0 million Euros in FY 2016, down 3.2% from FY 2015.

In Q4 2016, sales totalled 246.3 million Euros, down 1.5% from Q4 2015; this result implies a significant improvement compared to the first nine months of the year, confirming the success obtained by the Fall/Winter collections, thanks to their focus on iconic and evergreen products.

At constant exchange rates, meaning by using FY 2015 average exchange rates, including the related effects of hedging derivatives, sales would have been 997.5 million Euros (-3.8% from the previous year).

Tod's sales totalled 559 million Euros in fiscal year 2016; the 6.7% decrease compared to the previous year is mainly due to the sharp decline of traffic in the stores, in particular of tourists. The new collections, focused on the most iconic products, are receiving a good feedback.

Hogan revenues were 214.2 million Euros, with a 3.2% decrease from 2015, mainly related to the domestic market; positive results abroad.

Revenues of the Fay brand were 62.6 million Euros, up 5.3% from 2015, with a sharp acceleration in the fourth quarter. The brand is continuing its internationalization; positive results in all the regions where it is distributed.

Finally, sales of Roger Vivier totalled 166.3 million Euros, up 6.6% from the previous year. As already commented for the Tod's brand, also Roger Vivier was affected by the sharp decline of traffic and consumptions in many important markets for luxury goods, mainly of tourists.
